RAMONES first instruments arrive at the lab

We are very happy to have the first wave of radiation detectors delivered to the NKUA lab premises. The γ-ray detectors will be the main instruments to carry out research in RAMONES and help us meet our objectives. Lots of work needs to be done (simulations, calibrations, lab and field testing) before final deployment aboard...

Detecting radioactivity in the environment: new sensors, new opportunities

Studying the properties of radioactivity over the years revealed an elusive subatomic world escaping our human senses and laying the foundation to formulate quantum mechanics....
